Metropolitan Cathedral

Metropolitan Cathedral: The history of the Cathedral Metropolitan starts in the year of 1675, when the founding of the city, Francisco Dias Velho, starts to construct a chapel in homage to the padroeira. As of custom at the time, he chose the highest and visible place of the small village. One of the main decoys of the Cathedral is the quantity of hole art. Its interior shelters, since 1902 the sculpture "Escape for Egypt". The Me tropolitan Cathedral is closed for indeterminate time for problems in its structure.
